Hello all,

Sorry I am a total regexp noob and my question will probably take any one of you only a few seconds.  Im sure it has been asked before but I tried searching and couldnt find it.  This might be a good one to add to the "Common Expressions" thread.

Anyway all I am trying to do is select from a MySQL database any entry that starts with any number....

My query will look like this
$sql = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE company LIKE '[b]regexp[/b]' ORDER BY company";

Thanks for the help on this mundane questions...
Kevin
Hello and thanks for the reply...

So do I need to do something like this:

SELECT * FROM members WHERE company LIKE '^[0-9]%'

I need to select everything from my members database where the company field [i]begins[/i] with a number.

The above query yields no results so obviously I am doing something wrong...

Sorry for not understanding your first answer.
Kevin
